Background
Diskoria's concept of playing exclusively Indonesian disco tracks in their DJ sets was sparked by restrictions against performing those songs in local clubs.[1]
Musical career
Diskoria released their debut single, "Balada Insan Muda", on 14 February 2019, in collaboration with the production team Laleilmanino.[2] Their second single, "Serenata Jiwa Lara", featuring actress and singer Dian Sastrowardoyo, was released on 17 March 2020. All commercial proceeds from the song were donated to the Irama Nusantara Foundation, an organization dedicated to archiving Indonesian music.[3] On 15 October 2020, Diskoria released a cover version of Hetty Koes Endang's "Pelangi Cinta" in collaboration with musician Afifah Yusuf.[4]
